It's a future classic in the making. But if you prioritize cutting-edge tech or are hesitant about patent leather care, maybe look elsewhere. For me, though? They're a definite win — a beautiful, well-made shoe that lives up to the Jordan 11 name. So, would I recommend copping? Yes—if it speaks to you. Try them on if you can. Feel that quality, see that color in person. For $225, you want to be sure. But in my book, the Air Jordan 11 'Cherry' is a strong release that honors the legacy while offering a fresh, eye-catching twist. Solid pick-up Is it worth the $225? For me, "yes"— if you love the color story. You're paying for an iconic Jordan series model in a fresh, standout makeup. The quality is there. But here's my real talk: if you only buy sneakers for ultimate comfort tech, maybe look at the 34s or 37s. The air jordan 11 cherry is about style, heritage, and making a visual impact. The comfort is good, but not "revolutionary". Comparing these to other "Jordan 11" releases? The 'Cherry' sits right up there. It has the same great construction as recent retros. Versus something like the 3 or 4, the 11 offers a sleeker, more formal profile (thanks to that patent leather!). The cushioning is also different—more simple, plush Air versus Zoom. It's a distinct feel that’s become iconic for the Jordan series. This color just makes it fun.
